In a previous discourse. Dr. Tal-i mage having shown the opportunities j * of tne secular press, in this discourse speaks of the mission of religious ne?/s papers. His text is, "Then I turned and lifted up mine ejes a^d looked, and behold a flying roil" (Z-.chariah v, 1). In a dream tne prophet saw some-mllpd un adviccir)? through the neavens. It contained ^ divine message. It moved swiftly, as cn wings. It had much to do with the destiny of nations. But if you will look up ycu will see many flying rolls. They came with" great spaed and have messages foi all the earth. The Hying roils of [ this century are the newspapers- Tfcey ; car-y message human and divine. j Tcey will decide the destiny of the \ hemispheres. mi??. -TTv*^(-oA Qfotoc o rwnf. ! xcere arc ah iu-> \j f 20,000 newspapers. The religious i newspaper of which I am the editor j was born 19 years ago, but born again i seven years ago. In this brie' time it has grown to about 200,000 circulation, and, by the ordinary rule of calculat ing the readers of a paoer, it has about 10,000,000 readers. Our country was blest with mauy religious journals, edited by consecrated men, while their contributors were the ablest aad best of all professions aad occupations. Some of those j mrnals for half a ceuturv had been drooping their benedic tions upon the nation, and they live j on and will continue to live on until j there will be no more use for their i mission, the world itself having be- j come a flying: roll on the tempests of j the last day, going cut oi existence, j There will be no more use for such j agencies when the world ceases, be : cause, in the spiritual state, we shall have such velocity that we can gather I for ourseleves all the news of heaven, or, seeing seme world in conflagration j may go ourselves in an instant to ex i amine personally the scene of disa3- j ter. j Was there room for arsother religi-1 ous journal in this laud, already fav- j ored with the highest style of religious j journalism? Oh, yes, if undenomina | tional, plenty of room. Nothing can | ever take the place of the denomina- \ tional newspaper. When the milieu-\ nium comes in, it will fiad as many \ denominations as there are now.

Each denomination must have its own journal, set apart especially to present the charities explain the work and forward the interests of that particular sect. The death of c-n9 danominttional journal is a calamity to all the other denominations. I would almost feel that a great misfortune ^ ~^ ^ TWo OViyyior> Tn. I LtVU. iiiu It Wili. 4.JUU.* AM. telligencer cf the Reformed church (my mother church) did riot come to my house every week, for I was brought up on it, and it has become a household necessity. Such a denominational journal had better ' be edited by some o^e who rocked in the cradle of that church and, ordained at her altars, having become venerable in her service, sits spectacled and wise aid, with heart full of sacred" memories, addresses the living of today. In the most sacred crvnfc of our memory stands the statue of the religious editors Abel Stevens and Joshua Lsavitt and the royal family of the primes Irecsens and Eusebius. while others linger on the banks of Jordan, where they willnot have long to wait for Elijah's chariot, and when they 2:0 up, if we still be sitting at our editorial desks, we will cry out in the memorable words, *:My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof!" But. then, there are great move } ments in which all denominations wish to join, and we want more undenominational newspapers to marshal 1 and advance and inspire such movements. Yet such journals have a difficult task, because all Christian men, if they have behaved well in their ce nominations, for some reason prefer the one of their natural and snirituanativity and even locking off upon the general field and attemptL g widgr ?^? ?ill +/\ <\4- 4 WOXit, .Will Ua tu iwa au luiugo through - denominational preference _ and to treat them with a aenomina tional twisl. In the issuing of the religious journ\ al whose seventh anniversary I preach that difficulty has been met and overcome by the fact that its publisher is a 1 Methodis and in its editorial rooms ; there are a Presbyterian, an Episcopalian and a Congregationalism* and. a 1 line of denominational prejudice in 1 ronnrtni*?ft! <v>lnrrm Wfinld ' run against immediate protest Against John Wesley's "Free Grace," ' or Calvin's "Eternal Decrees," or Bis- 1 hop Mcllvaine's "Canonicals," or Dr. : Bowling's "Baptistery," from years' , end to year's eno not a word is written ' or printed. On ail these subjects we ' have convictions, but undenomina-1' tional journalism is not the placa to j1 state them. He who tells all he knows s1 and expresses ail he he thinks on all j * occasion and ia all places without re i; ference to .the proprieties is a boor or} a crank and of no practical service j either to church or state. TEE UXDEXOillNATICNAL PES 5S. j Undenominational journalism is I; absolutely necessary to demonstrate | the unity of the Christian world. Wide and desperate attempt is made i to show that the religion of Jesus Christ is only a battleground of sects, and the cry has been: k'It you want us to accept your religion, agree, gen- : tlemen, as to what the Christian re- : ligion really is. This denomination < 3ays a few drops of water dripping : irom me enu 01 xne angers is oapusm, and another demands the submergence of the entire body. This one prays with book, and tnat one makes ! extemporaneous utterance. The rectcr of one delivers his sermon in a gown, while the bsck woods preacher ! of another sect addresses the people in !; his shirts sleeves. Some of your de- . nominations have the majestic domin- < ant in the service and others spontan city. Some of you think thai from j all eternity some were predestinated j to be saved that from all eternity oth j ers were doomed." Now, it is the busi- i: nees of Young Men's Christian associa- ]; tlons and tract societies and Sunday | school unions and pronounced unda-,! nominatiorfal journals to shew the falsity of the charge that we are Sg ht-1 ing among ourselves by gathering ail} Christian denominations, on o?e olat-} form or launching the united sentiment of all Christendom from one | style of religious printing press. j < Unity, complete unity. Never was j any other army on earth so thorough j i ly united under one Sag ana inspired I: by one sentiment and led by one com-1. znander as is the church militant. J Christ commands all the troops of all I denominations of Christians, and they j are going to shcui together in the final! victorv when the whole world is re-! >/ *?;t.-. v... de^insd. t Bat ws have in all our denoruina- < tions got tired of trying to make otiier ? people ihisk hs \7e do on all points, * The heresy hunters in all denorrnna- i tiocs are nesriy ail dead, tha.-. k God, ' ? and we are learning th*t whsn men j :?et wrorg in their faiia. instead cf c martyrizir-g them by arraign-nsnt we i do better to wait for the natural roil ; of years to remote thorn.

His father, an exile from his ! i na!ive lacd because cf his opinions, j r his property confiscated, his life itn j I periled, landed on American soil be- j reft or' everything that foreign oppres- j c sion could rob him of. Naturally bis j s son knows right wellhow to appreci- j t aie liberty. The most or" us are de- j i scenaed from those who imperilled ! t all to gain their natural and religious I rignts. L?t the type and the printing | r presses and the editorial chairs be; overthrown which dare to surrender! % to any attempt again to put on the ( shackles. The movement has started j j for the demolition of all the tyrannies \ > of church and state. Religious news-1 ] papers must stand shoulder to shoui- j s der in this mighty march for God and ! e the world's rescue. j r OLD FASHIONED EVANGELISM ] Again, on this sevemh anniversary j j I say there is room for a religious pa- j j per charged with old fashione > evan- j \ geiism. Other styles of religious news j j nons" TMsrn- lift fnr sd vertisin^ tmrooses ! t or for the presentation of able essays! c on elaborate theses, but if this world ? is ever brought to God it will ba j, through unqualified, unadulterated, j f unmixed, unmistakable evangelism.; 2 It was astounding that the Lord Al- j r mighty should Cave gone into great j* bereavement, submitting to the loss of j ^ his only Son, teat Son stepping cS | c the dcorsill of heaven into a darkness-; t and an abysm that no plummet has ever yet bsen able to fathom, and [ j through that funeral of the heavens | f life is offered to our world. But how \ c to get tha tidings to all people and in such an attractive way that they will f take hold of them is the absorbing t question. Tie human voice ran travel % only a fsw feet away, and the world i wants something further and wider \ reaching, and that is tie newspaper i press, and as the secular rows must 3 necessarily give iiScl/chiiily t> secu }f lar affairs let the religious newspapers ; give itself to the present and ever;ast- j \ leg salvation of all who can reid, or; ^ if not abie to re*d, hare ears ta hear?c. others read. If tnera be an epportu-; ] nity higher, eeeper, grander, than ^ that offered to newspaper evangelism. c name it and guide us to ii, that we \ may see i?s altars, its pillars, its r domes, its in S. iiiuda. c Again, on this seventh anniversary - of The Christian Herald I notice there c is room for a religious paper thorough- j ]y humanitarian. The simple fact is t the majority of the hunaa race have r not enough to eat or wear. The ma jority of the human race are ia trou c ble. Hew to multiply loaves of bread j and increase the fuel, and heal theja wounds and shelter the hoaieitss are I r questions that Christ met equally ;<s : c soon as he did spiritual necessities, j E The frst heart 10 respond to the cry j t of sufferers from drought or flood or j c earthquake cr cruelty should ba the j a Christian heart. There-fore let the j c pages of religious journalism spread ? a out the story of all such v/ces and j ( soileci; relief ar>d disburse al.oos all! rj arrs'jnd mirsufffl world. Rsli^icus ! A journalism ought to bacome the aque- i duct through which the Christian s charities of the world should pour un-! * til there is no mere hunger to be fed 3 and no more ignorance to be educat r 2d and no more nakedness to be > slothed snd no inore suffering to as' v suage. In trying to do that practical r thing the religious paper, whose anni c versary I celebrate has, during the ? pas: sever, years, raised ar.d distribu- {\ led over $400,000 for the relief of ?hy-j r sical distresses. 1 j AX OPTIMISTIC PRESS j S A2'.;n, on this seventh anniversary J t of a religious publication I notice that j i: there is an especial mission, for a re- h: ligious journal truthfully optimises. 11 The most optimistic book I kno w of a Ls the Bible, and its most impressive j authors were all optimists. David an | optimist. Paul an optimist. St. John It an optimist Oar blessed Lord an op j timist. I cannot lock upon a deser: I ? but I sm by the old book reminded j > that it will ''blossom, like as the rose." j: I cannot in a menagerie look upon a j j lion and a jeopard but i am reminciei c that "a little child shall lead them." r I cannot see a collection of gems in a i jeweler's window without thinking of t aeaveu sfl.;sh and abhzs and incadin- I id and empurpled ^ith aii manner of i precious stones.

Pray alsofcr religious journalism | hat it may be :Jeit?not abre&siofj he times, but ahtad of the times. In ! h:.s day, when by cablegram we seem j o get from Europe news five j murs before it starts, we do not want j r. our religious columns information j .ssored out of an old newspaper or in i ormaticn. sent by me ins of a letterj vhich conies to U? through the dead let | er postoffise besaus9 it was misdirect-j :d.

Martin Thorn was convicted Wed nesdayat New York of murdsi in the first degree, io killing Wiliiam Gal dessuppe, his predecessor in the affections of Mrs Augusta Nack, at Wood sid.5, L I-, on June 25.

Mrs Nick's testimony during the mistrial made it compulsory for Thorn's j lawyers to change their line of defence j in tho second trial, and thev made a I direct charge against Mrs. Nack, and J insisted that her alledge confession was a lie, and that she herself was the | instigator and perpetrator of the murder. Thorn b.-ing ignorant of the killing until Galdensuope had been shot by Mrs. Nack. The woman was not produced during the secosd trial, but Thorn went on the stand and su'ostan tiatcd all the assertions made by his iawj ers as to the mid wife's guilt. His sicry. as the verdict shows, did no; I have the desired effect upon the jury- J m?n. When Court opened Wednesday morntngr Liwyer Ho ve began a summing up in brhalf of Thorn. Judge Middcx's cnarge was care^uliy prepared and we] 1 delivered. It w'as ac kaowledged by the lawyers for the prisoner to bd extremely lucid, fair arid impartial The jury remained in deliberation just three hours, when they sent wor.i to the Judge that they were ready io render a verdict. The fact c! tneir remaining out sj iuju^ gave hope to the defence, fcul as each one of them took his seat in the jirv box his facial exprefS:oa told very distinctly the result of the three hours' conference. "Guilty of the charge preferred,'" were the ominous words which fell from the lips of the foreman of the jury. Thorn'3 lawyers moved for a new trial on thegrcuad that the verdict was not in accordance with the weight cf evidence, but the moiion was overruled. Just what wili become of Airs.
